Which is better: walking or riding to the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the questions of the questioner. He says: Shaykh, which is better, walking on one’s feet to the mosque if the mosque is far away in the neighborhood, or going by my car with my children? And is the reward the same?
Answer:
This depends on the need. If the mosque is close and the person has the strength to walk, then walking is recorded for him as steps. If he needs to ride, then he rides. If riding is more certain for the children, so that he can accompany them, then that is better than walking, because if he walked, they might get separated or fall behind. If he takes them with him in the car, that is more certain for their attendance. This depends on the need; walking and riding depend on the need. If they are equal, then walking is the output.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
